[0046] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not intended to limit the present application.

[0047] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application.

[0048] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "comprising" or "having" etc. specifies the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0049] In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 An elevator rescue monitoring system is provided, including a grating ruler 102, a grating ruler reader 104, and a control module 106, wherein:

[0050] The grating ruler 102 is arranged through the elevator shaft, and the grating ruler 102 has a position code associated with the elevator shaft; the grating ruler reader 104 is arranged on the elevator car and is used to read the position code of the grating ruler 102 and send the position code to the control module.

[0051] The grating ruler can be a long strip-shaped encoding device made of metal or plastic, and has specific markings or magnetic changes on it, which represent different position codes; the position code associated with the elevator shaft can mean that the position codes corresponding to different positions in the elevator shaft are different; specifically, the grating ruler can be installed in the elevator shaft, extending from the bottom to the top, covering the entire height range of elevator operation. The grating ruler reader can be an optical sensor, a magnetic sensor or other types of sensors installed on the elevator car, used to read the position code on the grating ruler; the grating ruler reader sends the read position code information to the control module.

[0052] The control module 106 is configured to decode the position code to obtain position information of the elevator car, and obtain a running speed of the elevator car according to the position information at different times; and further configured to control the elevator to stop running when the running speed is greater than a preset speed threshold.

[0053] The control module decodes the position code to obtain accurate position information of the elevator car in the elevator shaft, and calculates a running speed of the elevator car according to the position information at different times; and when it is detected that the running speed of the elevator car exceeds a preset speed threshold, the control module takes control measures to make the elevator stop running.

[0054] Exemplarily, when the elevator control module sends elevator fault state information to the background, or a passenger in the elevator triggers an alarm button to inform the background that the elevator is in trouble, the rescue personnel arrive at the scene and then start the rescue mode of the elevator to run the elevator to help the trapped personnel to escape, at the same time, the elevator rescue monitoring system starts to run, at this time, the control module records the position code every time interval A to obtain accurate position information of the elevator car in the shaft, and updates the running speed every time interval A according to the recorded array, the running speed is obtained by subtracting the position information before the time interval A from the position information after the time interval A of the elevator car, and then dividing by the time corresponding to the time interval A. When the obtained running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, it indicates that the running speed of the elevator car exceeds the allowed running speed of the elevator in the rescue mode, and the control module can cut off the power supply of the brake coil of the elevator drive host through the control relay, at this time, the brake is released, the elevator is stopped, and the elevator stops running. In addition, the control module can also send the running speed to the display component outside the hall to display the running speed of the elevator through the display component.

[0055] In one embodiment, the control module is further configured to obtain a running direction of the elevator car according to the position information at different times; and further configured to determine the preset speed threshold according to the running direction.

[0056] The control module obtains a first position of the elevator car before the rescue mode runs, and obtains a second position of the elevator car when the elevator car runs in the rescue mode (i.e. the brake of the elevator drive host is lifted), when the value of the second position minus the first position is greater than 0, it is determined that the running direction of the elevator car is upward running; when the value of the second position minus the first position is less than 0, it is determined that the running direction of the elevator car is downward running; when the value of the second position minus the first position is equal to 0, it is determined that the elevator car is in a stationary state, and then the rescue mode may fail or the elevator fails to be driven in the rescue mode.

[0057] Exemplarily, the preset speed threshold corresponding to the upgoing direction is A, the preset speed threshold corresponding to the downgoing direction is B, the control module obtains the running direction of the elevator car as downgoing according to the position information at different time, determines the preset speed threshold as B according to the downgoing direction, and then can control the elevator to stop running in the case that the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold B.

[0058] In the embodiment, the speed threshold set for different running directions can be obtained, so that the running protection can be accurately implemented for different running conditions, and the safety can be improved.

[0059] In the elevator rescue monitoring system, the grating ruler with the position code associated with the elevator shaft is arranged in the elevator shaft, the position code on the grating ruler is read by the grating ruler reader arranged in the elevator car, and the position code is sent to the control module; the control module obtains the position information of the elevator car in the elevator shaft according to the decoded position code, and then obtains the running speed of the elevator car according to the position information at different time, and controls the elevator to stop running in the case that the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold. In the conventional technology, the monitoring method for the elevator in the rescue mode is to obtain the speed and direction of the elevator in the rescue mode by the rotary encoder installed on the elevator drive host, and to determine whether the elevator is in the door area by the position sensor installed on the car side and the magnetic separation plate installed on the guide rail, so that the rescue personnel can monitor the rescue process of the elevator car. However, when the steel wire rope of the elevator slips or the like, the speed or direction information provided by the rotary encoder of the elevator drive host will be abnormal, so that the rescue personnel cannot actually confirm the running state of the car. The elevator rescue monitoring system provided in the embodiment can provide real-time monitoring of the running state of the elevator in the rescue mode, and the position code is obtained by the grating ruler and the grating ruler reader to obtain the running speed of the elevator car. Even in the case of slipping of the steel wire rope, the accuracy of the obtained running speed can be ensured, and the elevator can be stopped in time when the elevator runs in the rescue mode and abnormal conditions such as overspeed occur, so as to protect the safety of the passengers in the elevator car.

[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 the elevator rescue monitoring system further comprises an elevator operating box 108 and an elevator weighing device 110, wherein:

[0061] The elevator operating box 108 is used to obtain the button trigger information of the elevator operating box in the elevator car; and the elevator weighing device 110 is used to obtain the current weight information of the elevator car.

[0062] The control module is further configured to obtain the trapped passenger detection result in the elevator car according to the current weight information and / or the button trigger information in the case that the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold.

[0063] Exemplarily, when the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, the control module or the buttons of the elevator control panel in the elevator car trigger information and the current weight information of the elevator car when the elevator stops running, and then the trapped passenger detection result in the elevator car is obtained according to the current weight information and / or the button trigger information. Specifically, example one, according to the comparison of the current weight information and the empty load weight information of the elevator car, if the comparison result of the current weight information and the empty load weight information indicates that there is other weight load in the elevator car, the trapped passenger detection result is obtained as that there is a trapped passenger in the elevator car; example two, according to the analysis of the button trigger information, if new button trigger information is obtained after the elevator stops running, the trapped passenger detection result is obtained as that there is a trapped passenger in the elevator car; example three, according to the comparative analysis of the current weight information and the button trigger information, if the comparison result of the current weight information and the empty load weight information indicates that there is a load in the elevator car (the load indicates that there may be personnel or goods in the elevator), and then the analysis is combined with the button trigger information, if new button trigger information is obtained after the elevator stops running, the trapped passenger detection result is obtained as that there is a trapped passenger in the elevator car.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, the load condition of the elevator car is obtained by the elevator weighing device, and the button trigger condition in the elevator car is obtained by the elevator control panel, so as to judge whether there is a trapped passenger in the elevator car. The trapped passenger in the elevator car can be detected at the first time when the elevator is abnormal, and then more accurate rescue measures can be taken.

[0065] In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The elevator rescue monitoring system further includes a micro switch 112 and a display assembly 114 arranged outside the hall, wherein: the micro switch 112 is arranged on the brake of the elevator drive host, and is used to generate an on-off signal according to the action of the brake of the elevator drive host; the control module 106 is further used to obtain the lifting or release state information of the brake of the elevator drive host according to the on-off signal after sending the instruction to control the elevator to stop running, and send the lifting or release state information of the brake of the elevator drive host to at least one display assembly; and the at least one display assembly 114 displays the lifting or release state information of the brake of the elevator drive host.

[0066] The elevator drive host brake can be a brake on an elevator hoisting machine. When the elevator needs to stop running, the brake release action is to tightly grasp the traction sheave (i.e. the main drive wheel of the elevator) through mechanical force to prevent the elevator car from moving unexpectedly due to gravity or other reasons after stopping, ensuring the safety of the elevator in the stationary state. The action of the elevator drive host brake can be the lifting or releasing of the brake. The basic working principle of the elevator drive host brake can be to use electromagnetic force or spring force to control the braking process, i.e. when the elevator is running normally, the lifting state of the brake keeps the brake open through the attraction of the electromagnetic coil, allowing the traction sheave to rotate freely; when the elevator controller sends a stop signal, the current of the electromagnetic coil is cut off, and the electromagnetic attraction disappears. At this time, the spring force or gravity will make the brake friction plate press the traction sheave, preventing it from rotating, i.e. the release state of the brake, so that the elevator car remains stationary.

[0067] Exemplarily, a micro switch can be installed on the brake (brake) of the elevator drive host. When the brake action, i.e. the lifting or releasing of the brake, the micro switch will generate an on or off signal. The control module obtains the lifting or releasing state information of the elevator drive host brake according to the on or off signal generated by the micro switch after sending the stop running instruction, and then sends the lifting or releasing state information of the elevator drive host brake to at least one display component arranged outside the hall. Rescue personnel can view the lifting or releasing state information of the elevator drive host brake through the display component, and further determine whether the brake has been actuated to the correct position according to the current observed elevator rescue running state to determine the reliability of the brake.

[0068] In this embodiment, the display component displays the current brake action state of the elevator, which can timely display the key running state of the elevator, improve the transparency of the elevator running in rescue mode, and help to quickly handle problems existing in the rescue process, and improve the safety of the rescue mode.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The elevator rescue monitoring system further includes a display component 114 arranged outside the hall, wherein: the control module 106 stores the door zone position code associated with the door zone position of each floor obtained through pre-floor height self-learning, and the control module 106 is further configured to send the door zone position information of the corresponding floor to at least one display component if the position code matches the door zone position code; and the at least one display component 114 is configured to display the door zone position information of the corresponding floor.

[0070] In the embodiment, the control module matches the position code with the stored door zone position code, obtains the door zone position information of the corresponding floor according to the matched door zone position code A, and sends the door zone position information to at least one display component. The display component can display the obtained door zone position information of the floor. At this time, the rescue personnel can open the hall-car door of the elevator hall of the floor after seeing the displayed door zone position information of the floor, and rescue.

[0071] In the embodiment, the control module matches the position code with the stored door zone position code, obtains the door zone position information of the corresponding floor according to the matched door zone position code A, and sends the door zone position information to at least one display component. The display component can display the obtained door zone position information of the floor. At this time, the rescue personnel can open the hall-car door of the elevator hall of the floor after seeing the displayed door zone position information of the floor, and rescue.

[0072] In the embodiment, the control module matches the position code with the stored door zone position code, obtains the door zone position information of the corresponding floor according to the matched door zone position code A, and sends the door zone position information to at least one display component. The display component can display the obtained door zone position information of the floor. At this time, the rescue personnel can open the hall-car door of the elevator hall of the floor after seeing the displayed door zone position information of the floor, and rescue.

[0073] In the embodiment, the control module matches the position code with the stored door zone position code, obtains the door zone position information of the corresponding floor according to the matched door zone position code A, and sends the door zone position information to at least one display component. The display component can display the obtained door zone position information of the floor. At this time, the rescue personnel can open the hall-car door of the elevator hall of the floor after seeing the displayed door zone position information of the floor, and rescue.

[0074] In the embodiment, the control module matches the position code with the stored door zone position code, obtains the door zone position information of the corresponding floor according to the matched door zone position code A, and sends the door zone position information to at least one display component. The display component can display the obtained door zone position information of the floor. At this time, the rescue personnel can open the hall-car door of the elevator hall of the floor after seeing the displayed door zone position information of the floor, and rescue.

[0075] In the embodiment, the control module matches the position code with the stored door zone position code, obtains the door zone position information of the corresponding floor according to the matched door zone position code A, and sends the door zone position information to at least one display component. The display component can display the obtained door zone position information of the floor. At this time, the rescue personnel can open the hall-car door of the elevator hall of the floor after seeing the displayed door zone position information of the floor, and rescue.

[0076] In one exemplary embodiment, the elevator rescue monitoring system further comprises a backup power supply for supplying power to the control module and the brake of the elevator drive host in the case of power failure of the elevator. In this way, the control module and the brake of the elevator drive host can be supplied with power in the case of power failure of the elevator, so that the rescue process can still be monitored by the elevator rescue monitoring system in the case of power failure to ensure the safety of the rescue process, and the brake of the elevator drive host can still be supplied with power to provide critical elevator operation power for the rescue process in the case of power failure.

[0077] In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 An elevator rescue monitoring method is provided, applied to a control module in an elevator rescue monitoring system, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0078] In step S302, the position code for the elevator car is obtained by the grating ruler reader.

[0079] In step S304, the position code is decoded to obtain the position information of the elevator car, and the running speed of the elevator car is obtained according to the position information at different times.

[0080] In step S306, the elevator is controlled to stop running in the case where the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold.

[0081] The grating ruler can be a long strip-shaped coding device made of metal or plastic, which has specific markings or magnetic changes representing different position codes. The position codes associated with the elevator shaft are different at different positions in the elevator shaft. Specifically, the grating ruler can be installed in the elevator shaft, extending from the bottom to the top and covering the entire height range of the elevator operation. The grating ruler reader can be installed on the elevator car and can be an optical sensor, a magnetic sensor or other types of sensors, used to read the position code on the grating ruler. The grating ruler reader sends the read position code information to the control module. The control module decodes the position code to obtain the accurate position information of the elevator car in the elevator shaft, and calculates the running speed of the elevator car through the position information at different times. In the case where the running speed of the elevator car exceeds the preset speed threshold, the control module takes control measures to stop the elevator.

[0082] Exemplarily, in the case that the elevator control module sends the elevator fault state information to the background, or the passenger in the elevator triggers the alarm button to inform the background that the elevator is in trouble, the rescue personnel rush to the scene and then start the rescue mode of the elevator to run the elevator to help the trapped personnel escape, at the same time, the elevator rescue monitoring system starts to run, at this time, the control module records the position code every time interval A to obtain the accurate position information of the elevator car in the shaft, and updates the running speed every time interval A according to the recorded array, the running speed is obtained by subtracting the position information before the time interval A from the position information after the time interval A of the elevator car, and then dividing by the time corresponding to the time interval A. In the case that the obtained running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, that is, the running speed of the elevator car exceeds the allowed running speed of the elevator in the rescue mode, the control module can cut off the power supply of the brake coil of the elevator drive host through the control relay, at this time, the brake is released, and the elevator is stopped, that is, the elevator stops running. In addition, the control module can also send the running speed to the display component outside the hall to display the running speed of the elevator through the display component.

[0083] In one embodiment, in the above step S304, the running direction of the elevator car can also be obtained according to the position information at different times, and the preset speed threshold is determined according to the running direction.

[0084] In the above step S304, the control module obtains the first position of the elevator car before the rescue mode runs, and obtains the second position of the elevator car when the elevator car runs in the rescue mode (that is, the brake of the elevator drive host is lifted). When the value of the second position minus the first position is greater than 0, it is determined that the running direction of the elevator car is upward running; when the value of the second position minus the first position is less than 0, it is determined that the running direction of the elevator car is downward running; when the value of the second position minus the first position is equal to 0, it is determined that the elevator car is in a stationary state, and then the rescue mode may fail or the elevator cannot be driven in the rescue mode.

[0085] Exemplarily, the preset speed threshold corresponding to the upward running direction is A, the preset speed threshold corresponding to the downward running direction is B, the control module obtains the running direction of the elevator car as downward running according to the position information at different times, and determines the preset speed threshold as B according to the downward running direction, and then the elevator can be controlled to stop running in the case that the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold B.

[0086] In this embodiment, by obtaining the respective preset speed thresholds for different running directions, the running protection can be accurately implemented for different running conditions, and the safety can be improved.

[0087] In the elevator rescue monitoring method, the position code is obtained through the grating ruler and the grating ruler reader, and then the running speed of the elevator car is obtained. Even in the case of wire rope slipping, the accuracy of the obtained running speed can be ensured, and the elevator can be stopped in time when an abnormal situation such as overspeed occurs in the rescue mode, thereby ensuring the safety of passengers in the elevator car.

[0088] In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The elevator rescue monitoring method further comprises the following steps:

[0089] In step S402, when the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, the current weight information of the elevator car and the button trigger information of the elevator control box in the elevator car are obtained.

[0090] In step S404, the trapped passenger detection result in the elevator car is obtained according to the current weight information and / or the button trigger information.

[0091] Exemplarily, when the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, the elevator stops running, the button trigger information of the elevator control box in the elevator car and the current weight information of the elevator car are controlled, and then the trapped passenger detection result in the elevator car is obtained according to the current weight information and / or the button trigger information. Specifically, example one, according to the comparison of the current weight information and the empty weight information of the elevator car, if the comparison result of the current weight information and the empty weight information indicates that there is other weight load in the elevator car, the trapped passenger detection result is obtained as that there is a trapped passenger in the elevator car; example two, according to the analysis of the button trigger information, if new button trigger information is obtained after the elevator stops running, the trapped passenger detection result is obtained as that there is a trapped passenger in the elevator car; example three, according to the comparative analysis of the current weight information and the button trigger information, if the comparison result of the current weight information and the empty weight information indicates that there is a load in the elevator car (the load indicates that there may be personnel or goods in the elevator), and the analysis of the button trigger information is combined, if new button trigger information is obtained after the elevator stops running, the trapped passenger detection result is obtained as that there is a trapped passenger in the elevator car.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the running speed is greater than the preset speed threshold, the control module obtains the load condition of the elevator car through the elevator weighing device, and obtains the button trigger condition in the elevator car through the elevator control box, to judge whether there is a trapped passenger in the elevator car. The trapped passenger in the elevator car can be detected at the first time when the elevator appears an abnormality, and then more accurate rescue measures can be taken.

[0093] In one example embodiment, the elevator rescue monitoring method can further include: in the case that the position code matches the door zone position code, sending door zone position information of the floor corresponding to the door zone position code to at least one display component to display the door zone position information of the floor.

[0094] The door zone position code is obtained through pre-layer height self-learning, and the display component is arranged outside the hall. After installation of each component of the elevator is completed, the elevator system records the position code of each service floor at the door zone position on the grating through layer height self-learning, and stores the position code as the door zone position code in the control module. When the grating reader reads the door zone position code, it indicates that the current position of the elevator car is at the door zone position of the service floor. The door zone position information of the floor can be used to indicate whether the elevator car has arrived at the door zone position on the floor.

[0095] For example, the control module matches the position code with the stored door zone position code, obtains the door zone position information A of the corresponding floor according to the matched door zone position code A, and sends the door zone position information A to at least one display component. The display component can display the obtained door zone position information A of the floor. At this time, the rescue personnel can open the hall-car door of the elevator hall of the floor after seeing the displayed door zone position information A of the floor to perform rescue.

[0096] In this embodiment, the control module matches the obtained position code with the stored door zone position code, and then sends the door zone position information of the floor corresponding to the matched door zone position code to the display component. The display component displays the door zone position information of the corresponding floor, so that whether the elevator car is at the door zone can be accurately determined in the rescue mode, and the rescue operation accuracy in the rescue process is improved.

[0097] In one example embodiment, the elevator rescue monitoring method can further include: in the case that the position code indicates that the elevator car is not at the door zone position, controlling a buzzer outside the elevator hall closest to the position where the elevator car is located to buzz.

[0098] In the case that the position code indicates that the elevator car is not at the door zone position, the control module does not find a door zone position code matching the position code in the stored door zone position code, and thus it is indicated that the elevator car is not at the door zone position.

[0099] In this embodiment, the control module controls the buzzer outside the elevator hall closest to the position where the elevator car is located to buzz in the case that the elevator car is not at the door zone position, so as to warn the rescue personnel that the elevator car has not stopped at the corresponding door zone position and the hall-car door of the elevator hall cannot be opened for rescue temporarily, and the safety in the rescue process can be improved.

[0100] In one application example, the elevator rescue monitoring system can be as shown in Figure 5 which includes a grating ruler with position coding, a grating ruler reader, a car communication board, a microcomputer board (control module), an operating box (elevator operating box), a car weighing device (elevator weighing device), a micro switch (not shown in the figure) arranged on the drive main machine holding brake, a display assembly (such as digital display & button) and a backup power supply.

[0101] The data read by the grating ruler reader through the position coding of the grating ruler is transmitted through the communication connection between the car communication board and the microcomputer board, and the data detected by the operating box and the car weighing device are also transmitted through the communication connection between the car communication board and the microcomputer board. It should be noted that the grating ruler reader, the car communication board, the operating box and the car weighing device are arranged in the elevator car, the grating ruler is arranged through the elevator shaft; the microcomputer board, the backup power supply and the frequency converter are arranged in the control cabinet of the elevator; the display assembly, i.e. digital display and button, is arranged outside the hall of each floor hall; the MG main machine, encoder and holding brake are arranged on the elevator drive main machine, and the micro switch is arranged on the holding brake. The MG main machine can refer to a motor and a generator, the motor is used to drive the elevator to run, and the generator is used to recover energy when the elevator descends. The AC220V power supply can be connected with the microcomputer board and the backup power supply, and the backup power supply can store energy to supply power to the microcomputer board and the holding brake of the drive main machine when needed. The AC380V power supply can supply power to the drive main machine and the microcomputer board through the frequency converter, and the microcomputer board can control the on-off of the frequency converter to control the action of the drive main machine. The encoder can provide the running speed and direction obtained by the rotation coding of the drive main machine, which can be used to compare and verify the running speed and direction obtained by the above-mentioned elevator rescue monitoring system to determine whether the elevator steel wire rope is slipping.

[0102] The above-mentioned elevator rescue monitoring system can realize the following functions:

[0103] 1) Car running state monitoring: Car emergency running state monitoring includes running direction and speed; Running direction: The elevator microcomputer board records the position of the car as z1 before emergency rescue, when the elevator car is in emergency rescue operation (i.e. the elevator drive host brake is lifted in emergency rescue mode), the elevator microcomputer board obtains the real-time position of the car as z2, when the data of z2 minus the data of z1 is greater than 0, the car running direction is upward, at this time the elevator microcomputer board will send the information of the upward running of the elevator car to the display device to display the elevator up, otherwise it is down; Running speed: When the elevator is in rescue operation (i.e. the elevator drive host brake is lifted in emergency rescue mode), the elevator microcomputer board records the absolute position of the car once every 500ms (this time can be adjusted according to needs, 500ms is only the default value) and updates the speed data once every 500ms according to the recorded array, the speed data is the absolute position data of the car after 500ms minus the absolute position data of the car before 500ms, and then divided by 500ms time, at this time the elevator microcomputer board will send the speed information of the elevator car to the display device to display the elevator speed, when the elevator microcomputer board records the running speed of the car in rescue mode exceeding the preset rescue maximum allowable value, the elevator microcomputer board will automatically control the relay to cut off the power supply of the drive host brake coil, at this time the host brake is released and the elevator stops running.

[0104] 2) Real-time position monitoring of the car: The grid ruler reader installed on the elevator car reads the grid ruler (with position coding) running through the entire elevator shaft, and sends the car position data to the elevator microcomputer board for decoding, at this time the elevator microcomputer board can obtain the real-time position of the car; When the elevator is installed, the elevator will record the door area position coding of each service floor on the grid ruler through the floor height self-learning, when the grid ruler reader reaches the door area position coding, it means that the current position of the car is at the door area position of the service floor, at this time the elevator microcomputer board will send the information of the car at the door area position to the display device, so as to facilitate the rescue personnel to open the hall car door for rescue; At the same time, when the car is not at the door area position, the elevator microcomputer board will also drive the hall buzzer to buzz to remind the rescue personnel, and the buzzer will stop buzzing when the car reaches the door area position.

[0105] 3) Monitoring whether the car has trapped passengers: When the elevator system cannot guarantee normal operation and causes the elevator to stop running, the elevator microcomputer board will automatically obtain the weighing data of the car weighing device, compare the weighing data when the car is empty, and confirm whether the car has passengers or goods trapped, at this time the elevator microcomputer board will automatically continuously obtain the button lighting data of the car operating box, if a new button of the operating box is lit at this moment, it means that the car has trapped passengers.

[0106] 4) Monitoring the action of the drive main brake: when the elevator enters the rescue mode, the elevator microcomputer board monitors the action of the drive main brake through the micro switch installed on the drive main brake; when the elevator brake is lifted, the brake pad of the drive main brake is separated from the drive main brake wheel, and the drive main brake can run, at which time the micro switch transmits the connection signal to the microcomputer board; when the elevator brake is released, the brake pad of the drive main brake is stopped on the drive main brake wheel, and the drive main brake cannot run, at which time the micro switch transmits the disconnection signal to the microcomputer board, so that the elevator microcomputer board monitors the action of the drive main brake.

[0107] The above-mentioned elevator rescue monitoring system can provide rescue personnel with information such as the running state of the elevator car in emergency rescue, the real-time position of the car, whether there are trapped passengers in the car, and the drive main brake of the elevator. The system is effective only in the emergency rescue mode of the elevator and does not affect the control of the elevator microcomputer board on the normal operation of the elevator.
